Just got this meter, it randomly showed 3.5 for only a second and then it magically became 8 and I've never seen it this low again, im lucky i got this pic before it turned back
Ficus benjamina like slightly acidic to neutral soil, so 6 to 7 pH is good. 8 might be too alkaline, and 3.5 is too acidic, but that must just be an error of the meter
Edit: fuck I just saw what sub this is. pH 3.5 is fine, ficus benjamina actually enjoy having their roots tickled a bit by the acidity, it keeps them stimulated

I wouldn’t trust that meter.
